AOC Calls To Impeach Clarence Thomas, The Only Black Supreme Court Justice

capitolhilltim

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of the Far Left (AOC) demands Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas be fired or impeached for ethical breaches she has found.

The comments follow reports that Thomas’ wife, Virginia Thomas, exchanged text messages with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about alleged election fraud.

“Clarence Thomas should resign,” AOC tweeted.

“If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.”

Thomas, who is currently the Supreme Court’s most conservative justice and second-longest serving justice of color, was also the first black justice.

AOC Would Like to Impeach Clarence Thomas

It is hard to imagine what media reaction would be if a Republican lawmaker tried to impeach one of the Supreme Court’s black justices.

Clarence Thomas is the target of AOC, but nobody blinks.

Democrats currently seek to have Judge Ketanji brown Jackson, a black woman for the Supreme Court, seated in their place. 

They’re seeking to place Jackson on the court in large part due to her being black, while simultaneously trying to remove the only current black member.

It is about extremism and being subservient to Democrats at the end. They act as if diversity will benefit them by getting votes.

This was demonstrated by President Biden’s filibustering of the nomination of Janice Rogers Brown (a black woman) to the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, in 2003.

Then, he warned George W. Bush about his intentions to do the same for her if she were elected as the Supreme Court’s First Black Woman.

Proper Worldview

Ocasio-Cortez, in discussing Biden’s decision to choose a black woman for the Supreme Court suggested “identity” would only take that person so far. That their “worldview” would have to match up with the extreme left.

“Identity is just the starting step when we are discussing a Supreme Court justice … ” she said. “But the question is, what is going to be that nominee’s worldview?”

On Clarence Thomas’s supposed ethical breaches – for which she provided no evidence – AOC suggested he needs to be taught a lesson.

“Congress must understand that a failure to hold Clarence Thomas accountable sends a loud, dangerous signal to the full Court,” she said adding that punishment might deter other conservative on the Supreme Court from acting as he has.

The National Review’s Andrew McCarthy notes that Supreme Court justices aren’t subject to recusal even if their own activities involve certain cases.

“The smearing of Justice Thomas is transparently partisan politics, nothing more,” he writes.
